Abstract: A server of a crop growth stage determination system includes a processor. The processor inputs first images obtained by image capturing crops in a manner such that crop shapes are extractable. The Processor inputs growth stages each indicating a level of physiological growth of the crops for each of the first images. The processor constructs a learned model by performing deep learning to associate images of the crops and growth stages of the crops based on the input first images and the input growth stage. The processor inputs a second image obtained by image capturing crops a growth stage of which is unknown, in a manner such that crop-shapes are extractable. The processor determines the growth stage for the input second image based on the learned model. The processor outputs the determined growth stage.

Abstract: Ultrasonic flaw detection uses a phased-array ultrasonic-flaw-detection probe. The flaw detection probe is placed such that the center of curvature of the flaw detection probe coincides with a reference center of curvature of a subject. The flaw detection probe is translated along a scan direction. The flaw detection probe emits an ultrasonic beam such that the position upon which the ultrasonic beam converges coincides with the center of curvature of the curve of the outline of the cross section of the subject at the scan position, receives the resulting reflected beam, and estimates the length of a flaw in the circumferential direction of the subject. In addition, the estimated length of the flaw is corrected using a correction coefficient corresponding to the distance between the center of curvature of the reference scan position and the center of curvature of the scan position in the thickness direction of the subject.

Abstract: This image generation device comprises an image generation unit for using an image generation algorithm (AR)—which has been trained on the basis of defect images (PD) that are inspection images showing defects (D) and label images (PL) obtained by adding, to the defect images, labels (Lr) corresponding to the types and shapes of the defects-to input a label image for image generation that has been created through the addition of a desired label to a background image and generate a pseudo-defect image by drawing, on the background image, a pseudo defect corresponding to the label added to the label image for image generation. The image generation unit draws a type of pseudo defect that corresponds to the color of the label.

Abstract: An ultrasonic flaw detection device comprises a flaw detection unit for transmitting and receiving ultrasound, a swinging mechanism for supporting the flaw detection unit to swing around a swinging axis, and a locking mechanism for switching between a swinging state and a locked state. The ultrasonic flaw detection device controls the locking mechanism and swinging mechanism such that when the flaw detection unit is moved along a direction tangential to a surface to be inspected from a position removed from a first end part of the surface to be inspected to a lock release position, the flaw detection unit is put in the locked state such that a direction tangential to a contact surface and the direction tangential to the surface to be inspected coincide, and the flaw detection unit is switched from the locked state to the swinging state after the flaw detection unit reaches the lock release position.

Abstract: The differential device measuring tool measures an inflow amount of lubricating oil flowing into a housing space through a communication hole during the rotation of a differential case having a case main body in which the housing space and the communication hole are formed and a bearing boss having a through-hole protruding from the case main body and communicating with the housing space. The measuring tool has a collecting portion and a deriving portion.

Abstract: An impact sensing laminate 2 has a first surface 211 on which an impact force acts; a second surface 222 brought in contact with a protection object OBJ; an impact absorption layer 21 and a first pressure-sensitive layer 22. When a direction heading for the second surface from the first surface is defined as a first direction, the first pressure-sensitive layer is in the first direction from the impact absorption layer. The first pressure-sensitive layer is a layer of sensing a first impact force as the impact force to have been attenuated by the impact absorption layer.

Abstract: A supersonic inspection jig has an insertion section 22 inserted into a hole 10 of an inspection target 1, and a flange section 23 connected with the insertion section 22 and contacting the inspection target 1. The flange section 23 has a flange section first surface 231 which is a surface on the side contacting the inspection target 1 and a flange section second surface 232 which is a surface on the side contacting the probe 41. A position limiting section 26 is provided on the flange section second surface 232 to limit the position of the probe 41 so that the probe 41 is maintained in a position separate from a central axis C of the hole 10. Thus, the inspection around the hole becomes easily executable.

Abstract: An ultrasonic testing device includes: a signal acquiring unit which receives a reflected echo signal relating to a reflected echo of ultrasonic waves from an object being inspected, a defect detecting unit which detects a defect of the object being inspected on the basis of the reflected echo signal, and a display unit which displays the detection result of the defect detecting unit. The defect detecting unit uses the maximum signal strength of the reflected echo signal exceeding a first threshold value to detect the defect. The first threshold value is a value with which the signal strength is less than the maximum signal strength of the reflected echo signal from the surface of the object, using as an evaluation range an interval between a position which is positioned a first distance from the surface of the object and a bottom surface of the object.
